A classic method for murderers, kidnappers or smugglers to covertly transport a human body, dead or alive, is to lay it out on a carpet and roll it up inside. It's quick, tidy, and comparatively innocuous; unlike blankets, a rolled carpet does not sag or fold out of shape, and it's unlikely to seep fluids like normal cloth or tear as plastic bags can. If used with a dead body, this trope allows a killer to carry off any evidence on the rug along with the corpse. With a living kidnap victim, they're restrained by the thick material and their cries are muffled; while suffocation is a risk, it can be made less likely if the carpet's ends are left uncovered (although pressure on the chest still poses a breathing hazard). Either way, a rolled-up carpet remains one of the few heavy cylindrical objects that can be hauled around in public without attracting much attention. Out-of-character, this trope was first popularized in the theater, where it let an actor be discreetly carried off-stage after their death scene, rather than hauled off in full view and at risk of Corpsing. Subtrope of Disposing of a Body, and one standard technique for a Cleanup Crew. Sister trope to Bag of Kidnapping if the body in transit is a living captive. Rarely, a person might arrange to have this trope applied to themselves, possibly as a Trojan Horse. If someone decides to use a carpet rolled corpse as a weapon, this is Grievous Harm with a Body. Often a Death Trope, so unmarked spoilers may follow. |

Subverted in the Adventure Time episode "Root Beer Guy": Finn and Jake roll Princess Bubblegum in a carpet and dump her in a lake. She turns out to have been alive the whole time, and the whole thing was a ruse to test the capability of the Banana Guard. | |

Invoked in Room. This is part of Ma's Bodybag Trick to help her and her son Jack escape captivity. Jack is wrapped up in a rug by Ma, who claims to Old Nick (her captor and rapist) that he died of a fever. The ploy works when Jack unwraps himself from the rug, jumps out of Old Nick's truck and is found by a passer-by. A smart police officer coaxes GPS Evidence out of Jack, and the cops use the information to locate and free Ma. | |

Briefly discussed in an episode of Bones where a skeleton is found bowed backwards with its feet touching the hands. Speculating how it got that way, Booth suggests that maybe someone put a dead body in a carpet which rotted away along with the flesh. Brennan starts laughing, saying that that would have taken thousands of years. | |

The Simpsons, in addition to The Simpsons Movie: In a "Treehouse of Horror" segment there's a Bottomless Pit in the woods near Springfield where people dump stuff they don't want anybody to ever find. We see the Springfield Mafia dump a carpet (presumably with body enclosed) down the pit. In "Homer Goes to College", Homer has the idea to "prank" the Dean by rolling him up in a carpet and throwing him off a bridge. Bart then comes up with a better idea, kidnapping their pig mascot "Sir-Oinks-A-Lot". Homer excitedly adds "roll it up in a carpet and throw it off a bridge!" |

Happened at least one on Castle. A city councilman is found this way... after the carpet had been rolled out by people who took the carpet to their apartment, thinking it was left out for those who needed it (turns out that this is a thing in New York). They immediately realize that the corpse was moved to hide where the victim was murdered, but the carpet actually helps link them to a hotel manager who hated the victim and help discover the victim's affair. Naturally, Castle had to lampshade it. | |

Repairman Jack: In All The Rage, Doug vanishes from his apartment after hacking into the files of the drug company he works for. His fiancée notes that his living room's rug is missing, which immediately brings this trope to mind. Inverted in By The Sword, in which a killer leaves the body where it lies and wraps the murder weapon in a rug, for inconspicuous transport. |

Occurs early in The Simpsons Movie when Fat Tony and his thugs arrive at Lake Springfield with a rolled-up carpet. Police Chief Wiggum deters them, stating that no further waste dumping will occur at the lake. Though his fellow officers are suspicious, Chief Wiggum points out that Fat Tony mentioned "yard trimmings," so there couldn't be a corpse in the carpet roll. | |

Archer: In "Training Day", Cyril accidentally kills a hooker, Trinette (not call girl; "When they're dead, they're just hookers"), so Woodhouse rolls her in a rug and puts her in the trunk of Archer's car. Archer is more upset about losing the rug. It turns out Cyril's pen was a tranquillizer, not poison, and Trinette is fine, but pissed. She takes his watch, wallet and car. Suggested by Woodhouse in "Killing Utne" when Torvald Utne dies, but quickly refused by Mallory (who devises a "hooker-Murder-Suicide" instead). |

Monk: In "Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized," Sally Larkin fakes her own kidnapping, making it seem like her husband is responsible. After starving herself in a remote cabin for a few days, she breaks into her own house and kills him, then rolls his body up in a rug from the cabin and drives the body back there. Unfortunately, she incriminates herself when Monk finds that while she was rolling the body, she stepped on a piece of homemade gum that Stottlemeyer had spit out while they were questioning Sally's husband that got stuck to her shoe. In "Mr. Monk and the Dog," the victim is found rolled up in a rug that's dumped in the hills. |

Played with in one Mr. Magoo cartoon, when Magoo wanders into a house used as a hideout by criminals and finds a rolled up rug in a closet, thinking it's a corpse, while he passes a man tied up on the floor and thinks it's a rolled-up rug. | |

In The Boondock Saints, the Sick Mob Man (or as Rocco calls him, the "sick fuck") does this with the family that he kills on a mob hit, rolling them up in a piece of the carpet of their home, before dumping the bodies in a dumpster and burning them. The casual way in which he does all of this unnerves and angers Rocco, to the point of calling it the "worst night of his life". | |

CSI: In "CSI Unplugged," the Body of the Week is rolled up in a rug and carried out of the house before being dumped in the garden with a note pinned to it with a knife. The guy who accidentally killed his wife and neighbor tried to dispose of his wife's body while it was rolled up into a carpet. The CSIs find her unrolled (he dropped the carpet) and him buried waist-high in cement. It's one of those episodes. A sideshow performer's corpse was found rolled up in a sheet of heavy tent canvas in "Freaks & Geeks." |
